New Babies & Christenings

Cherry Wood Rattles
Beautifully handcrafted rattles have traditionally bought pleasure to young children over the ages. These are handmade in England from British grown Cherry wood and are "CE marked" for safety. With or without a Treegift these make perfect Welcome, Christening or First Birthday presents.
